The term does not include contaminants or substances added to food for maintaining or improving its nutritive value. Food additives are intentionally added to food and must be safe for a lifetime of consumption based on current toxicological evaluation. The definition of food additive does not include contaminants. Thus pesticide residues, metallic contamination, Mycotoxins etc are excluded. Food additives are used for the purpose of maintaining or improving the keeping quality, texture, consistency, appearance and other technological requirements. Food additives do not include use of vitamins, minerals, herbs, yeast, hops, starter cultures, malt extract etc. Food additives are classified on the basis of their functional use and are grouped as: o Colours o Preservatives o Acidity Regulators o Antioxidants o Anticaking agents o Antifoaming Agents 2 FOOD ADDITIVES 2016 o Artificial sweeteners o Enzymes o Emulsifiers o Emulsifying agents o Flavours o Flavour enhancers o Modified Starches o Stabilizers o Thickening and Gellying agents. o Foaming Agents o Raising Agents o Humectants o Bulking Agent o Colour retention Agents o Firming Agent etc. 2.0 PRESERVATIVES: Preservatives are the compounds used to prevent and retard the microbial spoilage of food. Section 3.1.4 of FSS (Food Product Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011 defines preservative as “a substance which when added to food is capable of inhibiting, retarding or arresting the process of fermentation, acidification or other decomposition of food” They are classified into Class I and Class II preservatives. Class I preservatives are 1. Common salt 2. Sugar 3. Dextrose 4. Glucose 5. Spices 6. Vinegar or acetic acid 7. Honey 8. Edible vegetable oils 3 FOOD ADDITIVES 2016 Addition of class I Preservative in any food is not restricted Class II preservatives are 1. Benzoic acid including salts thereof 2. Sulphurous acid including salts thereof 3. Nitrates or Nitrites and/or Sodium and Potassium in respect of foods like ham, Pickled meat 4. Sorbic acid and its sodium, 5. Potassium and calcium salts 6. Propionates of Calcium or sodium, 7. Sodium, Potassium and Calcium salts of Lactic acid. 8. Nisin 9. Methyl or Propyl parahydroxy Benzoates 10. Sodium Diacetate. 2.1 BENZOIC ACID: 2.1.1 Qualitative Methods: 2.1.1.1 Ferric Chloride Test: Acidify the food product with hydrochloric acid (1+3) and extract with diethyl ether. Evaporate the solvent on a hot water bath removing last traces of solvent under a current of air. Dissolve the residue in few mL of hot water and add few drops of 0.5% ferric chloride solution. Salmon colour precipitate of ferric benzoate indicates the presence of benzoic acid. 2.1.1.2 Modified Mohler’s Test: To the aqueous solution of the residue obtained as given under method ‘A’ add one or two drops of 10% sodium hydroxide solution and evaporate to dryness. To the residue add 5-10 drops of sulphuric acid and a small crystal of potassium nitrate. Heat for 10 min in a 4 FOOD ADDITIVES 2016 glycerol bath at 120 – 130°C. Cool, add 1 mL of water and make distinctly ammonical. Boil the solution to decompose any ammonium nitrite (NH4NO2) formed. Cool and add a drop of fresh colourless ammonium sulphide [(NH4)2S] solution. The sulphide solution can be made by passing hydrogen sulphide in 0.88 ammonia. Do not let the layers mix. Red brown ring indicates benzoic acid. On mixing, colour diffuses throughout the liquid and on heating finally changes to greenish yellow. This change differentiates benzoic acid from salicylic acid cinnamic acid. Salicylic acid and cinnamic acid form coloured compounds which are destroyed on heating. (Ref :- AOAC 17th edn , 2000 Official method 910.02 (b) and (c) Benzoic acid in Foods / Pearsons Composition and Analysis of Foods 9th edn, 1991, page 83 / Manual Methods of Analysis for Adulterants and Contaminants in Foods. I.C M.R 1990, page 34) 2.1.2 Quantitative Methods: 2.1.2.1 Titrimetric Method: 2.1.2.1.1 Principle: Benzoic acid is separated from a known quantity of the sample by saturating with sodium chloride and then acidifying with dilute hydrochloric acid and extracting with chloroform. The chloroform layer is made mineral acid free and the solvent is removed by evaporation. The residue is dissolved in neutral alcohol and the amount of benzoic acid is determined by titration against standard alkali. 2.1.2.1.2 Reagents: 1. Chloroform -distilled 2. Hydrochloric acid (1+3) 3. Sodium hydroxide (10%) 4. Standard sodium hydroxide solution (0.05N) 5. Saturated sodium chloride solution. 5 FOOD ADDITIVES 2016 2.1.2.1.3 Preparation of Sample: 2.1.2.1.3.1 Beverages and liquid products: Mix the sample thoroughly and transfer 100 gm of the sample into a 250 mL volumetric flask, using saturated sodium chloride solution. Make alkaline to litmus paper with 10% sodium hydroxide solution and make upto volume with saturated sodium chloride solution. Shake thoroughly and let it stand for 2 hrs. Filter the sample and use the filtrate for determination. 2.1.2.1.3.2 Sauces and Ketchups: Add 15 gm salt to 150 gm of weighed sample and transfer into volumetric flask. Rinse with saturated sodium chloride solution, Add 15 gm pulverized sodium chloride and then add 10 mL of 10% sodium hydroxide solution and make upto 500 mL volume with sodium chloride solution. Let it stand for 2 hrs with occasional shaking. Filter and use the filtrate for determination. 2.1.2.1.3.3 Jams, Jellies, Preservatives and Marmalades: Mix 150 gm of sample with 300 mL saturated sodium chloride solution. Add 15 gm pulverised sodium chloride. Add 10 mL of 10% sodium hydroxide solution. Transfer to 500 mL volumetric flask and dilute to volume with saturated sodium chloride solution. Let it stand for 2 hrs with frequent shaking, filter and use the filtrate for determination. 2.1.2.1.4 Determination: Pipette 100 mL to 200 mL of the filtrate into a separatory funnel. Neutralize to litmus paper using hydrochloric acid (1+3) and add 5 mL excess. Extract carefully with 40, 30, 30 and 20 mL portions of chloroform. Avoid formation of emulsion by shaking gently with rotatory motion. If emulsion forms, break it by stirring chloroform solution with a glass rod after each extraction, but do not drain any of the emulsion with chloroform layer. 6 FOOD ADDITIVES 2016 Transfer the combined chloroform extract in to a separatory funnel and wash it free from mineral acid by shaking gently and rinsing with water. Drain off the water phase. Dry the chloroform layer over anhydrous sodium sulphate and distil off the solvent. Remove the last traces of the solvent under a current of air at room temperature. Dry the residue overnight or until no residue of acetic acid is detected if the product is a ketchup.

During the intervening years, the distribution of the six prior editions approached a million copies. SACL is one of the most widely used laboratory safety guidance documents in print today. Although written as a guideline for safe practices in academic chemistry laboratories, its application is not limited to educational facilities. The information presented in this manual is adaptable to all laboratories and workplaces using chemi- cals, including research, analytical, quality control, clinical, and process development laboratories. As we learn more about the hazards and risk of the chemicals in our laboratories, we must share this knowledge with our colleagues and our students.
